Definitions

  • Metabolic syndrome is a collection of symptoms that can include high blood pressure, weight gain, high blood glucose concentration, and an increase in blood cholesterol and triglyceride levels. Collectively or in combination, these symptoms are linked to the incidence of diabetes, heart disease, and stroke (3). This linkage is particularly important given that cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of mortality globally (4), and account for one in every four deaths in the U.S.A. (5). Over-consumption of high-calorie food and drink, and a sedentary way of life compounded with an aging population exacerbate the problem (2,6,7).

  • Glucose and insulin Basal fasting glucose, plasma fasting insulin levels, and glucose tolerance were assessed on treatment days 8 and 15 (prophylactic study) or day 15 (therapeutic study). Mice were fasted for 7-10 h then baseline blood glucose and plasma insulin were measured.15 ⁇ L of blood was taken from each mouse by tail bleed and placed on ice. A small amount was used for measurement of blood glucose as described below. The remaining blood was centrifuged at 10,000 g for 5 min to isolate plasma. Plasma insulin levels were quantified using an ultrasensitive mouse insulin ELISA (Crystal Chem). [0318] For the glucose tolerance test, a bolus of glucose was given by intraperitoneal injection using a 27-gauge needle and syringe.
  • Glucose is often given disproportionately based on body weight (33,34). Each animal received the same volume and concentration of glucose (2 g glucose/kg based on the mean total body weight of the whole cohort at that timepoint). This protocol ensured that, despite differences in total body weight, each animal received the same glucose challenge per lean body weight, which was not significantly different between groups (FIG.2F). This protocol is important because glucose is taken up mostly by muscle, and very little by fat tissue. Blood glucose was measured by tail bleed at 15, 30, 60, and 120 min after glucose injection using a Contour next EZ blood glucose- monitoring meter. For insulin measurements during the glucose tolerance tests in the therapeutic study, blood samples for glucose and plasma insulin assay were taken at 15, 30, 60, and 120 min after glucose injection.
  • S1QEL1.719 had no significant effect on superoxide/hydrogen peroxide production from sites III Qo , I F plus upstream dehydrogenases, IIF, PF and GQ. At these concentrations it had no effect on state 3, state 4 or uncoupled respiration on different substrates (26) (5 mM glutamate plus 5 mM malate, 5 mM succinate plus 4 ⁇ M rotenone, 27 mM glycerol 3-phosphate plus 4 ⁇ M rotenone, 15–60 ⁇ M palmitoylcarnitine plus 1 mM malate). However, S1QEL1.719 does inhibit complex I at higher concentrations.
  • the nominal IC 50 for inhibition of state 3 (phosphorylating) respiration divided by the nominal IC 50 for suppression of superoxide/hydrogen peroxide production under closely-matched conditions of 5 ⁇ g mitochondrial protein in 20 ⁇ L of medium (220 mM mannitol, 70 mM sucrose, 10 mM KH 2 PO 4 , 5 mM MgCl 2 , 2 mM HEPES, 1 mM EGTA, 0.2% (w/v) fatty acid free BSA), followed by mitochondrial centrifugation for 20 min at 2000 x g for plate attachment was calculated for each mitochondrial preparation and these values were averaged to give a ratio of 500 ⁇ 114 (SEM, n 6).
  • S1QEL1.719 was also selective against a standard non- mitochondrial panel of off-target receptors, channels and transporters (Table 1). These results show that S1QEL1.719 is a potent and specific suppressor of superoxide/hydrogen peroxide production by site IQ, but indicate that at high concentrations it can also inhibit electron transport, with potentially confounding consequences. [0325] Effects of two-week high-fat diet with and without prophylactic S1QEL1.719 treatment on food consumption, body weight and body composition. [0326] Fifteen-week-old male C57BL/6J mice were placed for two weeks on either a control diet containing 10% kcal as fat or a high-fat diet containing 60% kcal as fat (FIG. 2A).
  • mice on the high-fat diet were gavaged daily from treatment day 1 with either HPMC vehicle or 30 mg/kg S1QEL1.719 suspended in HPMC (FIG.2A).
  • animals fed high-fat chow had significantly decreased food consumption compared to animals fed low-fat chow, presumably because of the difference in caloric density of the two diets.
  • Prophylactic treatment with S1QEL1.719 did not affect food intake on the high-fat diet (FIG.2B). Feeding the high-fat diet resulted in a longitudinal increase in average body weight over two weeks compared to the low-fat diet (FIG.2C).
  • FIG.2F shows that there were no significant differences in lean body weight between low-fat and high-fat-fed animals, or with S1QEL1.719 treatment of high-fat-fed animals, although there were trends for the decreased fat accumulation in S1QEL1.719-treated animals (FIG.2E) to be offset by a non-significant increase in lean body weight (FIG.2F) and a non-significant decrease in change in total body weight (FIG.2D).
  • prophylactic treatment of high-fat-fed mice with S1QEL1.719 had no effect on food intake or body weight, but attenuated the increase in fat mass.
  • FIG. 3A shows the total area under the curve (AUC) from the raw trace in FIG.3A. There was a significant increase in the AUC in high-fat animals compared to controls.
  • FIG.3A Prophylactic treatment of high-fat-fed animals with S1QEL1.719 resulted in a significant improvement in the removal of the glucose bolus (FIG.3A) resulting in a significant 36% decrease in AUC compared to the untreated high-fat animals (FIG.3B). This effect was maintained after two weeks of high-fat feeding (FIG.3C), with a significant 32% decrease in AUC achieved by S1QEL1.719 treatment (FIG.3D).
  • FIG.3E plots the AUC of the glucose tolerance test longitudinally, showing a large difference between control and high-fat fed animals and a striking ability of prophylactic treatment with S1QEL1.719 to maintain the AUC close to control values.
  • FIG. 4A shows longitudinal fasting blood glucose levels, which were similar between untreated and treated high-fat fed animals.
  • FIGS.2A-2F, FIGS.3A-3E, and FIGS.4A-4F show that prophylactic S1QEL1.719 treatment protected mice against metabolic effects when dosed daily from treatment day 1 of a high-fat diet.
  • S1QEL1.719 protected when dosed therapeutically i.e.
  • mice Male C57BL/6J mice raised on the high-fat diet containing 60% kcal as fat from six weeks of age were purchased at ten weeks of age and maintained on the high-fat diet for a further two weeks before treatment with S1QEL or vehicle. Control mice raised on standard chow were purchased at ten weeks of age and maintained on standard chow for the entirety of the study. At twelve weeks of age, mice on the high-fat diet were therapeutically gavaged daily from treatment day 1 with either HPMC vehicle or 30 mg/kg S1QEL1.719 suspended in HPMC.
  • mice treated therapeutically with S1QEL1.719 required less plasma insulin to clear the glucose bolus than did untreated animals (FIG.5G) and had improved glucose tolerance (FIG.5E), suggesting that S1QEL1.719 may act by improving insulin sensitivity.
  • the model of acute two-week high-fat feeding of wild-type mice enables rapid testing of compounds for efficacy against aspects of the metabolic syndrome.
  • prophylactically dosing a novel bioavailable S1QEL decreases body fat accumulation, improves glucose tolerance, and protects against elevated fasting plasma insulin level in this model.
  • S1QEL1.719 treatment is also protective when given therapeutically starting after six weeks of high-fat feeding.
  • This high specificity strongly suggests that superoxide/hydrogen peroxide production from site I Q drives high-fat feeding-induced glucose intolerance, insulin resistance, and obesity, and S1QEL1.719 works by suppressing the activity of site IQ.
  • reaction mixture was stirred at 85 °C for 96 h.
  • the reaction mixture was diluted with dichloromethane (100 mL).
  • the brown orange slurry was filtered through celite.
  • the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure.
  • the residue was purified by flash column (eluted with 0-40% petroleum ether/ethyl acetate) to give tert-butyl (R)-(2-(4-methyl- 2-(2-(trifluoromethyl)morpholino)thiazol-5-yl)ethyl)carbamate (8) (11 g, 14.74 mmol, 44.8% yield) as a light-yellow solid.
